PREFACE. 


Meteorites,  as  Humboldt  pointed  out,  are  the  only  medium 
with  which  the  inhabitants  of  the  earth  are  brought  into  inter- 
planetary and  also  into  interstellar  space.  They  have,  there- 
fore, a  fascination  for  the  ordinary  man's  mind  which  nothing 
terrestrial  can  have. 

A  survey  of  the  heavens,  with  the  naked  eye  or  by  the  aid  of 
a  telescope,  fills  our  minds  with  wonder  and  awe,  mingled  with 
intense  curiosity  as  to  what  the  brilliant  celestial  bodies  may 
possibly  mean.  But  when  the  meteoric  globe  sails  across  the 
sky  and  falls  as  a  solid  mass,  our  awe  is  none  the  less,  but  our 
curiosity  is  largely  satisfied  ;  the  meteorite  has  told  us  one  of  the 
tales  of  other  worlds  than  ours.  The  writer  has  for  more  than 
a  half  century  felt  the  fascination  of  this  subject.  And  for  more 
than  twenty  years  past  he  has  given  much  time  to  collecting  and 
studying  these  interesting  cosmic  bodies  in  every  part  of  the 
world  where  he  has  travelled,  and  where  they  have  been  found. 
The  collection  enumerated  on  the  following  pages  is  the  result 
of  these  activities.  It  represents  424  distinct  "  falls  "  and  "  finds," 
about  four-fifths  of  all  the  meteorites  known  to  science,  and 
which  are  stored  mainly  in  the  great  museums  of  the  world,  as 
well  as  in  the  cabinets  of  private  amateur  collectors.  It  contains 
specimens  -of  the  oldest  falls — those  of  the  fourteenth  to 
eighteenth  centuries — which  were  observed  and  collected  at 
those  early  periods,  as  well  as  those  which,  at  the  commence- 
ment of  the  present  century,  first  challenged  and  secured  accept- 
ance by  European  savants  of  their  extra-terrestrial  character. 
Among  the  former  are  Elbogen  and  Ensisheim  ;  among  the 
latter  the  Pallas  Iron  and  1'Aigle. 

The  collection  contains  more  than  the  usual  quantity  of  nota- 
ble specimens.  Among  those  represented  by  particularly  large 
and  choice  specimens  are  Ballinoo  and  Roebourne  (Australia), 
Costilla  Peak,  Luis  Lopez  and  Oscuro  Mountains  (New  Mex.),  St. 
Genevieve  and  Central  (Missouri),  Oakley  and  Brenham  (Kansas). 
MacKinney  (Texas),  and  Veramin  (Persia).  The  four  masses  of 
Canon  Diablo  (diamondiferous)  weigh  together  a  full  ton.  The 
rare,  curved  octahedral  structure  is  well  brought  out  in  sections 
of  the  Toluca  and  Glorieta  Irons  ;  "Slickenside  "  surfaces,  which 
occur  prominently  in  some  few  ^Erolites,  show  well  in  the  Stall- 
dalen,  Manbhoom  and  Lixna  specimens.  The  Puquios  Iron 
(first  brought  by  us  from  Chili),  alone  among  meteorites  shows  a

clear /^ ///////£•  in  some  of  the  Kamacite  bands.  In  the  Brenham 
(Haviland)  section,  one  end  of  a  slice  represents  a  typical  Sider- 
ite,  while  the  other  end  shows  (by  a  like  considerable  surface)  a 
typical  Siderolite.  Large,  prominent  and  abundant  nodules  of 
troilite  are  shown  in  the  great  sections  of  Toluca,  Canon  Diablo 
and  Bella  Roca ;  large  plates  of  Schreibersite  in  La  Primitiva 
and  Tombigbee  River.  The  carbonaceous  meteorites  are  repre- 
sented by  all  which  are  known — Cold  Bokkeveldt,  Alais,  Orgueil, 
Nagaya  and  Mighei.  The  'metallic  veins,  found  penetrating 
some  few  /Erolites,  are  well  shown  in  the  Schonenberg  and 
Farmington  masses.  We  have,  also,  a  small  piece  of  the  only 
meteorite  of  geological  (Quaternary)  age — the  Villa  Lnjan, 
brought  by  us  from  Buenos  Ayres  in  1889. 

In  frequent  cases,  the  considerable  number  of  specimens  of 
the  same  fall  makes  it  possible  to  show  varieties  of  extreme  form 
and  of  vinner  structure.  In  nearly  every  case  we  are  able  to 
show  both  the  outside  crust  of  the  specimen  and,  by  fracture  or 
artificial  section,  its  inner  features. 

The  authenticity  of  the  specimens  has  been  carefully  studied. 
All  doubtful  falls  have  been  sternly  rejected.  And  we  have 
refused  to  increase  our  list  by  giving  duplicate  names  of  what 
are  undoubtedly  of  the  same  fall,  as  among  Tolucas,  Coahuilas, 
Mocs,  etc.  Our  sources  of  supply  have  been  the  large  museums 
of  the  world,  nearly  everyone  of  which  we  have  visited  in  bring- 
ing together  this  collection. 

We  have  adopted  the  general  divisions  of  the  collection  of  the 
British  Museum — Siderites,  Siderolites  and  ^Erolites.  Under 
these  divisions  our  arrangement,  for  ready  convenience,  has 
been  alphabetical.  We  will  only  say  in  defining  the  fullness  of 
the  collection  that,  of  the  61  classes  or  divisions  of  meteorites 
adopted  by  Brezina.  we  have  all  but  3  ;  while,  of  the  62  types  of 
Meunier,  we  have  all  but  4.  Few  meteorite  collections  in  the 
world  (we  believe  only  four)  have  an  equal  number  of  kinds, 
with,  at  the  same  time,  an  average  so  large  (/^  Ibs.)  in  the 
weight  of  their  individual  specimens. 

Each  specimen  is  separately  mounted  on  a  choice  mahogany 
pedestal,  bearing  a  printed  celluloid  label.  The  entire  collection 
tills  four  cases  12  feet  long  by  4  feet  wide,  with  plate-glass  sides 
through  which,  on  their  pedestals  and  shelves,  the  individual 
specimens  may  be  seen  and  studied.

MEDALS    OF    METEORITES. 


The  people  of  antiquity  looked  upon  the  heavenly  bodies  as  the 
places  of  abode  of  gods  and  beings  higher  than  mankind.  Thus  it 
came  to  pass  that  they  gave  divine  worship  to  objects  which  were 
seen  to  fall  from  the  celestial  spaces.  They  built  special  temples, 
in  which  they  preserved  them  with  sacred  care.  They  were  also 
displayed  for  public  worship  under  a  priest  appointed  for  the 
especial  purpose.  These  Meteorites  received  from  the  early  Greeks 
the  name  Betyls  (BeruXo;).  probably  from  the  earlier  Hebraic 
Beth-el,  or  home  of  God.  In  the  early  centuries — both  B.  c.  and 
A.  D. — the  habit  prevailed  in  Macedonia,  Cyprus,  Mallos,  Perge. 
Sidon,  Tripolis,  Tyrus  and  many  other  places  to  make  medals  to 
commemorate  the  fall  of  meteorites.  Such  medals  were  struck  by 
order  of  Philip  II,  Alexander  III,  Augustus,  Caligula,  Vespasian. 
Trajan,  Marcus  Aurelius,  Septimus  Severus,  Heliogabalus,  Tacitus 
and  others.  Dr.  Aristid  Brezina.  of  Vienna,  has  given  much  study 
to  this  numismatic  meteorology.  From  him  our  collection  has 
obtained  a  series  of  (50  casts  of  Meteorite  Medals.  We  restrict  our 
mention  to  four  of  these 'which  are  figured  below.  They  are: 

Paphian  Venus.     (Fig.  1.) 

A  pointed,  conical  stone;  the  sacred  simulacrum  of  Paphian  Venus,  which 
was  worshipped  for  many  ages  in  the  Isle  of  Cyprus.  Medals  struck  by  Galba, 
(68-69);  Vespasian  (69-79);  Trajan  (98-117)  A.  D. 


FIG.  i.  FIG.  2. 


MEDALS   OF    METEORITES.  99 

Diana  Pergaa.     (Fig.  2.) 

A  bee-hive  shaped  stone  in  a  two-pillared  temple;  the  simulacrum  of  Diana  of 
Perge  (Pamphylia,  Asia  Minor).  Copper  and  silver  coins  of  Trajan  (98-117 
A.  D.  ).  Also  silver  coin  struck  by  the  same  emperor  (showing  same  stone  simul- 
acrum) in  Rome. 


Zeus  Kasios.     (Fig.  :-J.) 

The  stone  (a  simulacrum  of  Zeus  Kasios)  is  hanging  by  a  chain  from  a  four- 
pillared  temple  or  frame,  in  Seleucia,  Pieria,  Northern  Syria.     Medal  of  Trajan  us 

1 98-1 17  A.  D.). 


FIG.  4. 


Emisa.     (Fig.  4  ) 

A  conical  stone,  carried  on  a  quadriga  under  four  sunshades.  Medals  struck 
by  Antonius  Pius  (138-161  A.  D.  )  in  Emisa,  Syria.  Afterwards  taken  to  Rome 
by  Elagabulus  (218-222),  where  he  struck  three  silver  denarii. 

Herodotus  says  of  this  Batyl :  "A  large  stone,  which  on  the  lower  side  is  round, 
and  above  runs  gradually  to  a  point.  It  has  nearly  the  form  of  a  cone,  and  is  of 
a  black  color.  People  say  of  it  in  earnest  that  it  fell  from  Heaven.'1''
